Back Ground image

I am stumped again and can not find the answer.

I would like to load an image from the local machine with the html image tag. The image is in the project directory. Tried this and many more:

html "<img src='wikilogo_red.png'>"

And or a background image from a local directory:

CSSID #sec0, "{
Color: Lime;
Font-Size: 12pt;
Width: 100%; Height: 10px;
Background-Image: wikilogo_red.png;
Background-Color: RGB(60, 60, 60);
Background-Repeat: Repeat-Y;
}"

I can get both to work from an external machine but not from the local.

What am I missing?

In the first case, should the image be in the public directory? It works for me if it is there.
html "<img src='/topbanner.jpg'>"   'displays the image

In the second case, I think the correct syntax for background-image is:
Background-Image: url('wikilogo_red.png');

Give them both a try!

Thanks Mike.

For some reason I am having trouble getting a "handle" on the root directory structure.

If the image is in the public directory or a sub directory of (public/images) these work.

html "<img src='/images/wikilogo_red.png'>"

CSSID #sec0, "{
Color: Lime;
Font-Size: 12pt;
Width: 100%; Height: 90px;
Background-Color: RGB(60, 60, 60);
Background-Repeat: Repeat-Y;
Background-Image: url('/wikilogo_red.png');
}"
